What's cookin' boys?

We did Christmas a couple weekends ago.

Fish fry tonight and lasagna tomorrow.

Up to 40 degrees F in the garage. Good place to park the fish for a while.

Doug’s Fish Fry is REALLY GOOD!

They renovated/built/opened their place in Cortland when I worked for the Health Department there. Was probably 35 years ago or so.

Got to meet Doug himself. Drank PBR beer while sanding sheet rock spackle….good guy.

Been to the original location in Skaneateles a few times. Eat in the park at the north end of the lake. Beautiful spot.

We catch their Doug’s Fish Fry ToGo venues locally when we can. As good as at their home locations.

They do a great job.

The Cortland location is really busy all the time. Picked up some takeout for my folks last summer at 11:30AM. Before I left there was a line out the door.

Cannoli Cheesecake.

For anyone with Italian heritage or background, it really does pass as a cannoli……

Didn’t get any pictures of the fried haddock done, but was really great.

Had gotten a 10# box of fillets from Maine’s as we often do.

Vacuum sealed the rest of the box in 3 bags for the freezer.

Really like the small FoodSaver Sealer. Works great for small jobs. Takes 11” rolls. Have a large Weston Pro 3500 that takes 15” rolls, but the little one is handy in a kitchen cabinet.

These 100-150’ rolls of seal bags with a cutter are really handy also. I’ve gotten some that are heavier gauge, but any decent vac seal material works pretty good in my opinion…..don’t need to spend the extra $$$ for the real heavy duty stuff.

We wore a couple foodsavers out. Now using chamber sealers that can run 50 bags in a row without resting and also let us freeze soups and sauces.
